One wonders if the leaders who oversaw the MET with Cressida Dick (who should have been dismissed after De Menzies, not promoted in my view) and who now refuse to accept the institutional aspect of their failures, are the right people to fix these problems?

I mean, Black people here have been saying this since the fifties *at least* - pretty striking that so much of the public at large is only now catching up in light of recent events.

If you enjoy threads like these, you might enjoy my new book, The Press Gallery -- a collection of 500+ newspaper clippings on themes from everything blamed on the bicycle (and jazz and the tango and bobbed hair, and...) to how complaints that nobody wants to work anymore go so far back that maybe nobody ever wanted to work.

Unbound in London will publish this book -- they work by taking pledges to cover initial costs of the book. Pledge here to make the book a reality:

Hi there. My name is Simon and I’m currently getting my reach restricted by Twitter because I have controversial opinions. If you see this Tweet, please like it and RT to spread the word.

Labour’s popularity in the polls simply reflects the level of dissatisfaction with the Tory government at that moment in time.

We need a party to put forward radically different policies that people can really get behind.

Now that it doesn't matter to power, the BBC estimates half a million dead in Iraq. A Guardian op-ed: 'A million lives later, I cannot forgive what American terrorism did to my country, Iraq.' Contrast with the complete silencing of dissent on the US proxy war in Ukraine.

Here's the truth about broken which our cruel Govt & the tax-avoiding billionaire-owned press are deliberately concealing from us, & trying to distract us from with their grotesque & divisive small boat obsession.

Thanks to @BBCRosAtkins & the @BBC team.🙏

The Iraq War is one of humanity's Greatest Crimes.

20 years on, not a single political leader has been held to account

The Conservatives have just recovered much of the polling lead Labour had in the last six months

We need strong transformative policy commitment not vague “missions”. twitter.com/i/web/status/16378

Note: If you're expecting to deport lots of humans to Rwanda in the future, then you're not "stopping the boats" you're just pushing the trafficked elsewhere.

The slogan is also a nonsense.

It is not enough to refuse Labour our vote. We must take votes FROM Labour, and for that we need a party(ies). And the work has to start now - canvassing, building support. I'm sure many would contribute, but we need an organisation that means it.

Fun with maths: if you multiply £11,000 by the number of working adults in the UK, it comes to over £300 billion. Since 2010, the richest 1,000 people in the UK saw their wealth increase by... yep, you guessed it... over £300 billion. twitter.com/SarahChampionMP/st

RT @PhilipProudfoot
“Fifteen years of wage stagnation has left British workers £11,000 worse off per year.”

What the hell? It’s almost like Britain spent nearly all that that time voting for a political party that represents the interests of bosses? Oh….wait.
